حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِنْدَلٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عَابِسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ السِّقْطَ لَيُرَاغِمُ رَبَّهُ إِذَا أَدْخَلَ أَبَوَيْهِ النَّارَ . فَيُقَالُ أَيُّهَا السِّقْطُ الْمُرَاغِمُ رَبَّهُ أَدْخِلْ أَبَوَيْكَ الْجَنَّةَ . فَيَجُرُّهُمَا بِسَرَرِهِ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُمَا الْجَنَّةَ " .

Muhammad ibn Yahya and Muhammad ibn Ishaq Abu Bakr al-Bakka'i narrated to us; both said: Abu Ghassan narrated to us: Mundal narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn al-Hakam al-Nakha'i, from Asma bint Abis ibn Rabi'ah, from her father, from Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The miscarried child will plead insistently with his Lord if He admits his parents to the Fire. Then it will be said, “O miscarried child pleading insistently with your Lord, admit your parents to Paradise!” So he will pull them both by his umbilical cord until he admits them to Paradise.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
‘السِّقْط’ means a miscarried fetus or child. ‘بِسَرَرِهِ’ refers to the umbilical cord. The Arabic verb ‘يُرَاغِمُ’ is rare and can carry the sense of opposing or pleading insistently; this translation follows the pleading sense without further interpretation.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ السِّقْطَ لَيُرَاغِمُ رَبَّهُ إِذَا أَدْخَلَ أَبَوَيْهِ النَّارَ .
The rare verb ‘يُرَاغِمُ’ can suggest contending with or pleading insistently with someone; its intended force here is not certain from the wording alone.
What is the intended sense of ‘يُرَاغِمُ رَبَّهُ’ in this report? The translation provisionally uses ‘plead insistently.’
